Superheroes don't have time for such idle pursuits like the perfect selfie -- there's a city that needs saving!

An artist known as Billy Butcher imagined what would happen if various Marvel comic book heroes were all as selfie-absorbed as everyone else.

"I thought it was interesting to explore such a modern phenomenon, the selfie, clashing with a vintage concept like the design of characters from the '60s," Butcher told Mashable.

Indeed, the vintage style clashes with the modern phenomenon of smartphones to create something very much like the pop art movement of the '50s and '60s. And that's a good thing: Andy Warhol would probably be a big fan of the selfie.
